Father Winter
without influential friends to aid him to social position, his success may be inferred from the fact that, in the year 1800, he was able to capture a wife (the same year in which they first met) from one of the first families of that aristocratic university town.
Amelia Conant, the captured party of the second part, was a daughter of Hon. Eleazar Conant of Middlebury, Vermont. There is hardly a name more familiar than this, to the people of Michigan,—-especially of the . -eastern and southern sections,—for more than fifty years past.
